Red color, clear, big offwhite head. Aroma is soft roasted malths, mild fruity, light caramel and toffee, with english bittering hops a little metallic. Taste is a bit tart, medium bitterness even if a sugary edge remains. Finish is quite aromatic and mild bitter. Texture is somehow dusty, light body, sharp dry finish. Easy to drink.

500ml can. (5.2% ABV) Pours a clear copper with a medium, long lasting, beige head that laces. Weak aroma of caramel malt, bread and light fruit. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, bread and dried fruit with a dry, bitter, hoppy finish. Medium body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Not bad.

Very nice,especially for a regular bitter. Aroma is toffee, malt, toast. Flavor’s like nose, rich, not too sweet, extremely drinkable. Good finish.

500ml bottle into pint glass. 5.2% Golden bronze beer with solid rocky tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Aroma of smoky malt and burnt sugar. Light carbonation. Full bodied, flat mouthfeel. Initial bitterness is followed by subtle sweet malt notes then a final touch of dry peppery bitterness. Superior bitter, classic ESB.

Kicsi, de nagyon stabil hab. Rubin vörös sör. Illata enyhén karamelles-égetett cukros. Enyhe karamell, gyenge keserű, fűszeres ízvilág. Kissé lapos sör. Utóíze fűszeres, nagyon enyhén kesernyés. Közepesen testes.

In cask @ Heathrow Terminal 5. Great smooth beginning. Hints of nuts and malty ale. Round and refreshing, not much bitterness, round, dry with caramel and nuts and a nice bitter ale finish!
